Plot post for July 30!

This format of plot post is designed for players to ask questions and find ways to influence the plot. Be bold and ask what you can or can't do; the worst that can happen is that I will say no. As plots in Save the Earth are not self resolving nor on a time limit they can evolve in many ways. Although some potential outcomes are given, they are little more than suggestion and can be changed by character action. What role you take is up to you.

The post is also open for players to plot and coordinate between one another.




Events occurring currently;
• The Vermini swarms have disappeared for the most part, and there's no sign of Vermedi either. Some characters may glimpse hairy figures in dark alleys or in sewers, but the creatures always disappear as soon as they are spotted.

• There are an unusual amount of police patrols out and about in the city. Any suspicious activity will be noticed, though there are no immediate IC consequences.

• We also have two super secret event opportunities that have not been claimed. Two commenters to the thread below will be randomly selected for this plot.




Events occurring in the immediate future;
Beginning Friday, August 2, there will be something in the water. Drinking any tap water will result in occasional, uncontrollable fits of laughter, along with re-experiencing previous Echoes, especially memory Echoes. One Echo per 8oz glass of water, and the beginning of its effects can be delayed for up to an hour. Within six hours it'll be out of the character's system completely.




Events potentially occurring;
• If PCs wish to investigate Thunder Corp this week, comment to the thread below with a general idea of how you plan to get in and what you plan to do once you're there. Details will be forthcoming on a case-by-case basis.





Potential Echo Opportunities:
• Drinking the tainted water will grant one new Echo (and only one, no matter how much water is drunk) in addition to any re-experienced ones. Uncovering any secret information about Thunder Corp will also grant an Echo. Canon parallels are a constant.

Both Anthony and Cinderella are going to be getting dosed with tainted water!

In Anthony's case, what with his physical systems dying off, he isn't likely going to be one of the ones hit with the worst of it - but he is going to be drinking enough water for an Echo that'll cause him to go a tad more zombie, and involuntarily re-experiencing visions he knows he shouldn't be experiencing may produce another Echo. As he still isn't getting out especially much, both the turning and the outburst of "This can't - be - HAPPENIIIIING!! D8" are likely going to be happening out of sight unless anyone might for whatever reason be interested in having their character bear witness. XD I'd also certainly be willing for an excuse to have him lured out to succumb to a giggle-fit within earshot of others - and also he'll be taking turning further, whether or not anyone else notices (the difference to his outward appearance will be quite minor, so he'll stay vague about it) will have him look into sorting out some more stable general living arrangement.

Cinderella, meanwhile, I still lack more elaborate plans for, but I still owe thee a log, Airdra, if you'll not mind backdating it! Not a clue yet on what Echo she'll receive from her drinking water, either - but, well, she drinks like a horse! Expect her to make a network post sometime this week very giggly wearing a pair of red glasses with a song stuck in her head.

Bakura is.... still recovering a bit from a nasty echo that triggered a fugue state and has been keeping more to himself lately and has been pretty low energy for him since then. The water-echoing liikely isn't going to help with that much and he may need to reachout to a few people to stabilize.

Siegfried has been spending most of his time dancing since he got that echo back, as well as being.. well.. a reckless idiot in many respects. Windows are a bigger danger than before! The water laugh will likely be the first laugh anyone's heard from him! And it'll just confuse him that he's doing it... :)

I don't think Aria even knows Thunder Corp investigating is a thing (unless someone mentions it to her in the future), so she probably will not be involve in that. She drinks tap water usually though (...filtering it is a hassle), so she will probably get dosed with that. Since she only has the one memory echo/echo at all (unless I do a request?) and it isn't one she minds, she will probably be more or less 0kay with this, if mildly weirded out and annoyed. I am really up for doing anything with her, though, tbh! I'd like to get her involved in stuff.

Also, if I can decide what would make sense/be fun, she might get an echo from this? I will consider it more later. But yeah, hit me for whatever.

Edit: actually it is my new goal to rack up memory echoes of different forms just to confuse the hell out of aria, so I think (?) maybe something from one of those. IDK.

iirc Teal mentioned that Maya would be opening her home to the number folk who might need a place to stay BUT if the topic of where to stay ever comes up between Anthony and Alex, Alex would offer his place, too.

Actually, if you're interested in that being a thing -- oh, hm. I was going to say that it could be set up in the lsr log, but that might not jive with the logs set after it... WELL we can def work something out if you're interested!

I'm perfectly willing to backdate the log, so no worries there! /o/ And Arthur will be forever ready to sing songs with giggly horses.

And hey, Anthony can come crash at Hajime's place for a while, if he needs to. Hajime knows that needing a place to stay because you're not human feel.

Alrighty. We'll see where we're at with secret plot things in a while, I guess.

In the meantime, Toushirou is totally getting a drink of that water. Because him going into giggling fits needs to happen because it's adorable. Don't lie. You wanna see the grumpy kid laugh! This is going to weird him out so much. If I could work it out to have it in a public place, that'd be awesome. Otherwise, he'll just be giggling on the network and wanting to freeze things and "teleport" and junk. Stable, responsible kid here, folks. Totally.

...If Arthur ends up being able to breathe underwater, I kind of really want Nick to somehow run into him while he's using his new power.

Does the water still have any effect if mixed with something? Like if someone makes tea or lemonade or whatever with the water?

[personal profile] these_orcs_must 2013-07-31 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Robert will...I don't know, get his bladestaff back or something, I haven't given it a lot of thought. Right now I'm still building him some initial CR and figuring out what his place is going to be in the game, so this is pretty bare bones.

I think Marisa is going to get a fuzzy pile of memories of a party at the Hakurei shrine, and thus have vague impressions of a bunch of people from her past life that will be very unreliable because she was very drunk at the time. More importantly, she's going to start work on a huge, vaguely disorganized conspiracy theory chart, complete with photos and news stories connected pinned to a cork board and connected by red thread, keeping track of all the stuff that she's pick up on, and share it with the network. She ALSO will be starting to visit your homes, impose on your hospitality, and steal borrow your stuff. I want to do at LEAST one log about her doing this.

OH YEAH and the gigglewater. Bob probably mainly drinks pristine bottled water, gatorade, and shit like that, he probably won't actually fall to this one, but Marisa drinks whatever whenever. Expect her to be laughing more than usual.

Anything that involves Regina infiltrating the corp/doing some kickass espionage/information leakage? I'm totally down with that. Maybe she can disguise herself as an employee or something...

Signing this fellow up.

I'm gonna hold off on signing up Lloyd for secret plots since he's still figuring out what little everyone knows. Though the water thing will be fun, I'll definitely do that. Maybe I can get in another Echo before then somehow...

But yes, Lloyd has finally realized this place isn't random and boring and has started paying attention! He's mostly trying to figure out how to connect with everyone else who's related by he's not sure what and what the thing is he's not sure of that's connecting them. Otherwise, it's summer break so he's being a typical teen enjoying the fact that he's not in school.

Either in person or on the network, I'm definitely throwing Alex at this. THE MIND WILL BOGGLE.

I've been a bit scarce lately and looking for ways to get Candy more involved, so I wouldn't mind a nice mystery plot :3

Shiro is gonna be giggling like a madman thanks to that water.

AND YOU KNOW I think I actually came up with an echo just now thanks to it; HOLLOW ICHIGO LAUGH. It'll just happen sometimes. And it'll have a weird reverb effect to it sometimes.

AND not an echo but Shiro will be unlocking his love of fighting. He's always had it, but he suppressed it when he was a kid. now it's back. with a vengeance

Oh man Marisa need to see this. She will be convinced forever that Toshirou has a secret fun loving side.

Or at least she'll say she's convinced to excuse her being extra annoying to him.

Yo! Still got this criminal girl over here and a whole mess of crap with the lid just waiting to be blown off of it.

Even if that's still awhile off, she's always breaking some kind of law so that could still make for some interesting interactions when it comes to Numbers Club stuff, if you're interested.
